What is Low Level Light Therapy?

LLLT, also known as photobiomodulation, utilizes low-level light to stimulate cellular activity and promote healing. This innovative technology offers a range of medical solutions, including pain management, wound healing, and cosmetic dermatological rehabilitation. LLLT can reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and speed up tissue repair. Medical grade LLLT is a safe and non-invasive treatment with the highest energy levels available for potent and effective results. This process can stimulate your meibomian glands to produce oils that keep your eyes moist.

Types of Light Therapy

Image

Red Light Therapy

Renowned for its skin rejuvenation properties, this wavelength deeply penetrates the skin to boost cellular activity and encourage collagen production. The outcome is a noticeable improvement in skin texture, diminished fine lines, and a more radiant skin tone.
Image

Blue Light Therapy

This wavelength is most commonly used to target acne and skin blemishes by penetrating the sebaceous (oil) glands. An example of a sebaceous gland is the meibomian glands in the eyelids. The results of this treatment include eliminating bacteria in sebaceous glands and treating blepharitis.

Yellow Light Therapy

Renowned for improving blood circulation and lymphatic systems, leading to reduced redness, inflammation, fine lines, and wrinkles. It also aids in detoxification and promotes overall healing.

Infrared Light Therapy

Infrared therapy penetrates deep into tissues for cellular repair and regeneration, targeting pain and inflammation at a cellular level. It promotes healing from within, stimulates blood flow, and increases oxygenation for natural pain relief and overall wellness.

What To Expect During Treatment

The patient will be sitting with their eyes gently closed while a bright light surrounds the patient's face for 15 minutes. A combination of red, blue, yellow, and infrared light may be utilized. The procedure may be followed by meibomian gland expression.

Post-Procedure Care

LLLT is a safe and non-invasive in-office procedure, allowing you to resume daily activities, including wearing makeup, immediately after treatment. For optimal results, we suggest 6 sessions spaced 3-7 days apart. Maintenance sessions are also available.
